Believe me I was extremely HAPPY that NYC DID NOT win the bid just because Hillary made this a Huge photo-op and the MSM bragged about how popular she is in Europe - WELL HILLARY - I GUESS YOU ARE NOT AS POPULAR AS YOU THOUGHT! Heh Heh!

[Michael.SF.]

Watch for Hillary's name to all but disappear from the discussions of this subject in the MSM.

[SittinYonder]

the former first lady even invoked the specter of the 9/11 attacks:

I hate it when the left politicizes 9/11

[Quilla]

Why would anyone expect anything less? She failed on her first major domestic initiative as well - Hillary Care.

[since1868]

That was my thoughts as soon as i saw the announcement.
It is called a sacrifice.

[cweese]

I'm also happy for the same reason. We'd be bombarded from MSM about how SHE, Queen Hillary, was the one solely responsible for bring the Olympics to New York. She'd probably even campaign with it.

[DTogo]

What?! The Olympics have nothing to do with 9/11! The IOC didn't attack us, Osama Bin Laden did! How dare she invoke a "sacred" subject like 9/11!

Sound familiar?

[hflynn]

Clinton was pulling out all the stops

No wonder it went down the drain.

[1Old Pro]

I'm glad they won't be in NYC as well. Plus, Hillary has extended her record of getting nothing accomplished.

[shadeaud]

So, it's ok for the thigh master to include 9-11 in her speech, but when President Bush refers to the date the media and the lefties go bananas.
New York would have suffered more than it would have enjoyed from hosting this event. Traffic and hotel space is limited on a normal basis, imagine having to lodge, transport and provide the extra security for the masses that would come.

[Magnum44]

HA HAAA!

[Red Badger]

Even the Euro-weenies recognize a Social climber when they see one.......

[GSlob]

Singapore is pretty strict about dirt in the streets - I'm surprized she wasn't caned for daring to show her visage and then deported immediately.

I am in the NYC area, and like a lot of people I am happy the Olympics are not coming here. I know there's another side to the argument, but I just thought it would be a lot of hassle and a money-loser.

As for Sen Clinton, I cannot for the life of me understand how liberals and feminists can champion this woman for essentially riding her husband's coattails. Supposedly her contacts gained when her husband was President were going to help. If Laura bush tried that the left would be screaming from the rooftops! But there's a lot of criticisms I could raise about Hillary now, aren't there - I don't have all day!

I predict (hope!!!) that Hillary will be like the EU constitution - loved by the elites but rejected by the people once they are asked for their votes. Let's hope the Reopublicans can keep it together and she is thwarted.

[garyhope]

Bloomberg, a RINO loser and socialist.

Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay) Muslim America hater, draft dodger and loudmouthed braggart.

Hillary, left wing America hater, socialist and shrill, power mad lesbian bitch and self promoter.

What a team.

The Olympics are not bargain. I still remember the Munich Olympics. What would the Islamofascists have planned for NYC? A nuke?

[billnaz]

Most New Yorkers DID NOT WANT the Olympic games. It's hard enough to get around in the city even on a normal day. And where would they have the aquatic events? Way out in the Hamptons? I'm sure the wealthy people out there would have just loved the congestion!

[The Mayor]

Bump from Buffalo!

hehehehe~

[stockstrader]

She was hoping to be able to attend and HOST the Olympics as the President of the United States in 2012. This was just a little advance planning on her part,,,,just in case. Oh well, she can now try for the winter Olympics in her long-range Presidential planning.

[Paul Atreides]

the AP called Mrs. Clinton "the top political heavyweight for New York's [Olympic] delegation."

Hillary's a "heavyweight" no matter the situation.

[Paul Atreides]

I saw on the news that Fr*nce did not get it either!

[N. Theknow]

She should have changed her name to Olympia and claimed she had been named after the Olympics.

Then she could have gone for a walk on a Long Island beach and discovered a set of rings and fashioned them in the shape of the Olympic rings as she bit her lip and shed a tear in memory of her Mother, Hera Rodham, who's dying words were, "The Olympics belong in New York City."
